The large stone grave Passow (also called Klingenstein ) is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Passow , a district of Görmin in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It bears the Sprockhoff number 547.
location
The grave is located about 400 m south of Passow in a field.
The Passow complex is part of a larger group of megalithic tombs that extends southwest of Greifswald between Dargelin in the east and Düvier in the west.
description
The complex has a north-south oriented burial chamber , originally encased by a rolling stone mound , which, according to Ernst Sprockhoff, can be described as an extended dolmen , according to Ewald Schuldt and Hans-Jürgen Beier, however, as a large dolmen . Around 1960 there were still five wall stones in situ . It was the northern end stone and two stones each on the long sides, with one larger and one smaller stone facing each other. The original entrance was on the south side. A single capstone was still on the wall stones. This has a length of 3.5 m, a width of 2.2 m and a thickness of 0.8 m. The original dimensions of the chamber were estimated by Sprockhoff to be 3.5 m long and 1.5 m wide. In 1964 the grave was reconstructed. A second capstone was put on and several smaller stones were placed on the west side and the open south side.
